Patch InterVideo WinDVD to rip DVD-Audio!

Brazilian Rarewares.org has found some interesting additions to InterVideo WinDVD. We haven't tested these tools, but they promise to make WinDVD output the audio streams to files on the hard drive. I can certainly think of some use for these.

Several toos to work with DVD-Audio (read: ripping)

They require WinDVD 5, 6 or 7 installed, as they don't do the decryption themselves, and instead patch WinDVD to output the decrypted stream to disk instead of the sound card.

My DVD Player, NVDVD can already rip audio, buts i really do prefer to use intervideo, probably i'll switch, any way there are programs specificaly designed to do this-unless its freeware <?>.
Annny-whoose good luck to these guys, hope it all turns out.

No, you're talking about the audio track of a DVD-V. Of course, most people don't even know DVD-A exists, nor would they care if they found out.
(I say: don't knock it till you've tried it. But people will not try it, and continue to knock it.)
Ripping the audio track of a DVD-V is not the same thing as ripping the HR PCM DVD-A (MLP) track of a DVD-Audio disc.
But all anyone cares about is tinny lossy crap through an iPod with earbuds now anyways. Long live mediocrity.
